STAGE IS SET FOR OPENING SERIES TILT Record Crowds Foreseen; Yank Pitching Choice Uncertain New York. Sept 29 .(U.R> While crowd* poured into the city on the eve of the million dollar "subway" world series and "G" men invest!Kitted widespread ticket scalping. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Van bees wrestled with his first major problem of the series--who to pitch In tomorrow s opening game against mighty Carl Hubbell of the Giants.' McCarthy's choice rested between Red Ruffing. Lefty Gomer. Bump Hadley and Johnny Murphy. Throughout his managerial career McCarthy has always played it the safe way. and unless he steps out] of character the tanks' opening pitcher will be their No. 1 man, Ruffing, who has won 2o games uud proved the most consistent. if McCarthy decides to gamble, bis likely choice Is Gomez, who has shown signs of regaining his former greatness in recent weeks. Then there is a remote possibility that he might try a shot in the dark with one of his two relief hurlers, Murphy or Hadley, figuring that if the Yanks hit Hubbell at all they'll get enough runs to win regardless of the Yankee pitcher. With all reserved and box seats sold for the first six batneg, the series will hit the million dollar class even if it goes only the minimum of four games. Daily receipts at the Polo grounds, where the first two games will be played, will be approximately $215,(100 and at Yankee stadium, where the next three are scheduled, about $250.. 000. The SIOO,OOO radio pool will send the gate over the million mark. One of the biggest demands for tickets in world series annals threatened to cause a ticket scandal because of the exorbitant prices quoted by scalpers —s6 60 box seats at $1<.50 and $5.50 reserved seats at sl2. It was reported that scalpers had cornered more than SIOO,OOO worth of tickets. Federal agents of the bureau of internal revenue department. headed by Stephen Ryan have opened a drive against the side*a l ticket speculators. More 'han 20.000 unreserved seats and .n.ont 4,000 bleached seats w 11 he plated on sale tomorrow. W.i’i room for only 58,000 at the Polo grounds, including about 1.000 standees, many thousands ot fans, soni" vlio have come from far away to see the series are likely to be turned away. j»a hotels report they are

Sept. 29 — (U.R) — I.' Henry McLemore, don't care who wins the 1936 world series. And you're a sucker if you do. The Yanks in four straight or the Giants in four strajgbt, what does it matter? That's the way I feel after talking to Bill Terry in the Giantst dressing room at the Polo grounds. 1 went out to interview Terry yesterday all hopped up over the series. I was honestly excited about the thing. And that was perfectly natural. New York’s seven or eight millions were tajking of nothing else. Five dollar seats were selling for twenty dollars, so great was the demand. Sport pages were filled with stories about the two teams, and the front pages told of special trains, loaded with hysterical fans, arriving for the battle. Outside the polo grounds half a hundred ragged guys, determined to get at ' least standing room, sat on rickety stools waiting for the gates to open. Some of them had been there for a week. Then I talked to Terry, and my enthusiasm went limp. He's the manager of the Giants , —the man who'll lead them into battle —and for thirty minutes he talked of the series as dispassionately as a fishmonger discussing the price of frozen hajtbut. Before he finished I actually felt like running and telling those fellows sitting outside the general admission gates to take those fifty cents they were clutching in their hands and go spend it on a good movie. I’ll quote a few lines of our conversation to show you how keyed up Terry is over the series. “How do you feel about this one, Bill? Getting a little on edge’ ‘‘Not me! And why should I? j It's just some more ball gajnes, isn't it?” "Do you think it'll be as good as the Giants last one. when they 1 played Washington?” "Oughta be better. There were a lot of empty seats at those games in Washington. It'll be a sell out here.” ‘‘What do you think about the Yanks?’’ “Don’t kno v. Never saw ’em.” , ■'Do you think the Giants, be- : cause they’re in the world series, will play better than they did during the regular season?” “Don’t know. Maybe they will and maybe they won't. From what I've seen of world series the teams play about the same as they do in regular games. The ' players may take a few more chances, but that’s about all.” “Is your pitching staff the beet you ever had with the Giants?” •'No. The 1933 one was much better. I had four good starters then.” “Is the team excited about playing the Yankees for the title?” •’Not much. Some of the kids are a bit excited, but they'll get over that.” That’s hot stuff, isn't it? Enough to make any reporter catch a cab back to the office and write a powerful piece about, how the Giants and the Yankees. mortal enemies, meet tomorrow or. the battle ground in a duel to death for the ehn.mplcnshlp of the world. It must, because a lot of ’em are doing it. But — and please pardon my profanity — I’ll be damned if 1 will. (Copyright 1936 by United Press)
